The Godfather Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 RIP Bobby. Will never forget as kid growing up the 86' & 90' world cups.
Flyer Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 The most over used word in football is "legend" but in this case, its the truth. RIP.
Gordon Mockles Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 So sad. A true gent & great ambassador to football. The nicest man in football, period. RIP Sir Bobby. Sorely missed, never forgotten! (Met him at my first England international at Wembley when he came to sign our autographs!)
Saint Stimp Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 RIP Sir Bobby, a true football man if ever there was one
Dearne Valley Saint Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Genuinely heartbroken by this news. What a fitting farewell Sundays game was. The man was a legend and the best England manager since Ramsay. Rest in peace Sir Bobby
SaintRichmond Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Truly Gutted He was a Genuine Geordie, and loved Newcastle FC I am so very very pleased that he made it to his "Tribute" Match at St James Park, where so many of "His" players paid tribute to him He looked so very very frail, and I did make the comment to my wife that I did not think it long before we heard the worst God Bless You Sir Bobby Robson ..... a Real Credit To Football Condolences to his Family, and of course to all Geordies of Newcastle FC

Whitey Grandad Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 He was a great man. His career and his achievements stand out amongst so many others.
saintbenny Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Met Sir Bobby at my graduation in Ipswich, shock his hand and told him he was he greatest English manager ever. He shock his head and said "It's not about me today son it's about you". A true gent - RIP
Tac-tics Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 A true gentleman, what a sad day. He put up a good fight! =[
Leslie Charteris Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 The end of an era and probably the last of his kind. He'll be sorely missed. My condolences to his family.
Foxstone Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I too had the pleasure of meeting the great man ! I honestly have not known anybody else with such a passion and love for the game, coupled with an insight and knowledge that puts many modern managers to shame. A true gentlemen, a true football man, a true great !! And the world of football is very much the poorer for his passing.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 A great man, who had a great career, and through his achievements touched people in so many countries. Football has lost one of it's greatest servants and will be the worse for it. Ramsay won the world cup, but for me, Sir Bobby was the best manager England have had. Whenever he spoke you could feel the warmth of his personality through his words, a true gent who will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family and friends.
Polaroid Saint Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 A sad day, will we see his like again? A truely valiant servent of the game and a proper old school gentlemen, RIP Sir Bobby.
tombletomble Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 RIP A Great man that will be missed by all. My thoughs go out to your family
Ampersound Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 First England manager I can remember. Legend. RIP
solentstars Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 a rela football man of the people and a great manager r.i.p
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 and an ex-Saint as well. Sir Bobby signed for us an amateur in 1949 before following Bill Dodgin to Fulham the following year. When I see some of the characters involved in football today and then I look at the integrity of people like Sir Bobby I am glad I "knew" the old days.
hugh Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 A truly great man. Will be much missed, but leaves a legacy of happy memories. RIP
